Saad Ghanem raised to 250,000 preflop and Aaron Johnson called.
The flop came 
. Ghanem bet 300,000, Johnson called.
The turn was the 
. Ghanem loaded up again and fired 500,000 which Johnson called once again.
The river paired the board as the 
came. Ghanem continued the aggression as he bet 1,000,000. Johnson did not call as quickly this time as he thought ot over for about 20 seconds before ultimately calling.
It was a good call as Ghanem turned over the 
for nothing while Johnson had the
